NTLM with UNIX Application Environments
The following illustration depicts how the Hyperion Remote Authentication Module enables
communication between NTLM and Shared Services running in a UNIX environment.
The Shared Services configuration file (CSS.xml) resides on the application server, as do the
Hyperion application binaries. For NTLM connectivity, you also need NTLM support library
file (
css-9_3_0.dll) on the machine that hosts Hyperion Remote Authentication Module in
the NTLM domain.
The NTLM Primary Domain Controller and the Hyperion Remote Authentication Module can
be on a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 server. Hyperion does not recommend, however, that
you combine the Hyperion Remote Authentication Module with the NTLM Primary Domain
Controller on the same server. The Hyperion Remote Authentication Module host machine
needs to be in the same domain as the NTLM Primary Domain Controller.
Support for Multiple NTLM Domains
Hyperion Remote Authentication Module enables a Hyperion product to authenticate users
belonging to other NTLM domains that are not trusted by the domain on which Shared Services
is installed.
The following illustration depicts how users spread across multiple NTLM domains can be given
access to Hyperion products deployed in a Windows environment:
